Electric Gates
Lymington.
Looking for electric gates in Lymington? Perimeter Fencing and Gates designs, builds and installs bespoke automated swing gates, sliding gates, access control and gate automation systems for homes across Lymington, Milford on Sea, Pennington, Boldre, Brockenhurst, New Milton and the surrounding New Forest coastal area.
Electric Gates Built for Lymington Driveways and Coastal Entrances
Lymington properties often need electric gates that can handle daily use, privacy requirements, exposed coastal conditions and entrance layouts close to lanes, pavements or shared access routes. The right gate system should improve security and convenience without creating reliability or maintenance problems later.
We design electric gate systems around the entrance, not around standard kits. That means the gate structure, frame, posts, hinges or track, motor type, access control, power route and safety equipment are considered before the final specification is agreed.
This page covers our electric gate installation service in Lymington. For our wider service overview, see our Electric Gates Hampshire page. For a guide to typical system prices, see our electric gates cost guide.
Types of Electric Gates We Install in Lymington
We design and install electric gates in different materials and opening styles, depending on the entrance, property style, driveway space, exposure and access control requirements.
Swing Gates
Electric swing gates suit Lymington homes where there is enough driveway depth for the leaves to open safely without blocking parking or vehicle access.
Sliding Gates
Electric sliding gates can suit short driveways, wider entrances, sloped approaches or properties where swing gates would take up too much usable space.
Gate Automation
We specify motors, control panels and safety equipment around the gate size, weight, coastal exposure, opening style and frequency of use.
Access Control
Keypads, remotes, fobs, GSM intercoms, video entry and app-based access can be included for controlled entry and daily convenience.
Automated Gate Designs for Lymington Entrances
The right design depends on the property style, the level of privacy required, the exposure of the entrance and whether a swing or sliding electric gate is the most practical option.

Designed Around Exposure, Access and Everyday Use
An electric gate should not be chosen on appearance alone. Entrance width, ground levels, wind exposure, opening direction, parking space and long-term maintenance all affect the final specification.
The design also needs to account for motor position, access control, cabling, safety devices and how vehicles approach the entrance. This is especially important for Lymington properties close to coastal weather, narrow lanes or shared access points.
We can advise whether an electric swing gate, electric sliding gate or automation-ready gate system is the most practical option for your Lymington property.
Electric Gates Need the Right Safety Setup
Electric gates are powered machines as well as entrance gates. The gate structure, posts, hinges or sliding hardware need to be suitable for powered movement, and the automation system must be specified around safe operation.
A proper installation can include safety edges, photocells, suitable control equipment, force settings, access control and professional commissioning depending on the gate design and site layout.
We follow HSE electric gate safety guidelines to ensure full compliance with UK regulations.
Electric Gates Lymington FAQs
Common questions about electric swing gates, sliding gates, automation, access control, coastal exposure, safety and installation costs in Lymington.
Do you install electric gates in Lymington?
Yes. Perimeter Fencing and Gates installs electric gates in Lymington and nearby areas including Milford on Sea, Pennington, Boldre, Brockenhurst, New Milton and surrounding New Forest locations.
What type of electric gate is best for a Lymington home?
It depends on the entrance layout, driveway depth, exposure and property style. Swing gates suit many homes with enough opening space, while sliding gates can help where parking space is limited or the driveway is close to a lane or road.
Are coastal conditions a problem for electric gates?
Coastal exposure can affect gate frames, fixings, finishes and automation hardware over time. We consider material choice, coatings, hardware, gate weight and maintenance requirements when specifying electric gates for Lymington properties.
Can existing gates be automated?
Sometimes. Existing gates must be strong, correctly aligned and suitable for powered movement. If the posts, hinges or gate frame are not suitable, a new automation-ready gate system may be the better option.
Do you install sliding electric gates in Lymington?
Yes. Sliding electric gates can be a good option for wider entrances, sloped driveways, short driveways or properties where swing gates would take up too much driveway space.
How much do electric gates cost in Lymington?
As a guide, complete electric gate installations often start from around £6,500 depending on the gate type, size, groundworks, automation, access control and safety equipment required.
